Must Reads: R. Kelly's #MeToo reckoning, Charlie Rose's enablers, and Erik Prince's China

Image
Compelling, ambitious reads you can’t afford to miss. When national arts reporter Geoff Edgers started working on his penetrating look at years of sexual abuse allegations involving R&B superstar R. Kelly, he was worried he wouldn't be able to uncover anything new. Kelly's behavior, which included marriage to then-15-year-old singer Aaliyah and a video that appeared to show him having sex with a 14-year-old, was well known. But Edgers, with encouragement from his editor, Christine Ledbetter, focused his reporting on the industry that enabled Kelly's career to flourish amid one disturbing scandal after another.  "How do you ignore something like this for so long?" Edgers said he asked himself. "How does that happen? You trace it back to the money, and who are the people who benefited?" Edgers, who also hosts a podcast called Edge of Fame, called, emailed and texted the people who knew the answers to those questions dozens of time...

Fundamental misunderstanding

Image
The President’s tweet betrays a fundamental misunderstanding about the role of inspectors general and other executive branch oversight and accountability offices. Shortsighted on Oversight The special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in U.S. elections continues to attract politically charged pronouncements and calls for action. As part of the recent debate, government oversight institutions have been invoked by national and party leaders. However, the discussion in Washington, DC, and in the media is hobbled by incomplete knowledge of the various oversight tools and options available for major investigations.

So far, the best it can do is 19. The problems with these systems are bad enough that President Trump, in slightly more colorful language, has called for the Navy to r...

Progressive Breakfast: Trump’s General Just Announced a New Cold War. Who Will Stop It?

Image
MORNING MESSAGE Richard Eskow Trump’s General Just Announced a New Cold War. Who Will Stop It? Defense Secretary James Mattis announced a dramatic shift in military policy last week, and it threatens to plunge the world into new forms of conflict. Mattis is not a “Mad Dog,” as his nickname suggests. He's a rational and articulate spokesperson for the national security ideology that has dominated American political life since the end of World War II. That’s disturbing in a very different way. WH Floats Demands On Immigration Deal Trump’s Immigration Concession Sets High Price for Democrats.
